Zombie Master 2 - 1.0.1b Hotfix
May 8, 2013 Patch 3 commentsFixes a few game-breaking issues that weren't worked out in v1.0.1
Zombie Master 2 is a multiplayer RTS/ FPS hybrid utilizing Valve's Source 2007 engine. Players are thrust into the middle of a zombie apocalypse, forced to search the remnants of their world for weapons and equipment in order to remain alive.
One player is freed from the weak flesh of his peers. A being of limitless power, he controls the grotesque hordes of undead in a constant battle against what is left of humanity. His name is spoken only in whispers, for fear of drawing his attention. For once his gaze is upon you, the true test begins.
A game pitting the cunning strategy of the Zombie Master against the teamwork and bravery of the humans, ZM2 is two unique gameplay experiences in one.

I'll be very honest. Instead of ZM2 it really should be ZM 1.5.
There's just no cohesion between the game and its concepts. There also should've been more work to the viewmodels and world models, the SKS a blaring example as it doesn't even use the same rig.
I doubt I need to say much regarding the AI, hit detection, and path finding. In fact it's worse than the first iteration.
Yes this game is fun but only because the fact it only shines in what made ZM1 fun, by itself it's rather lackluster.

Great work on this guys!
Where is the patch we were promised last weekend?
In LAN as ZM i cant click any ORBS and as survivor i cant take things from the ground.
wtf?
does this work with only the sdk 2007?
You have to have the Source SDK base 2007 to play this mod.
Why the hell am i banned from this?...i just downloaded it and it says steam id blah blah blah is banned ...same goes for hidden : source...the hell? :(
If you're VAC Banned that means you're banned across every single Source game excluding Gmod, unless you got yourself banned on that too.
you should do a feature for a director of zombies so that when the time comes when this mod/game becomes obsolete that people can still play offline
That'ld be really hard for them to do.
What they should do is make new menu art so it looks different from zm1 >_>
Also I wouldn't mind them making a video and talking about the future of ZM2.
Also where's my 1.01 patch ;_;
Never mind, I fixed it, now I can actually play this mod :D
